The 17ga stainless steel wire is really tough. Notice how I was having tough time bending the wire ends? Ugly ya? I think I better stick with 20ga :)
Wire Wrapped Rose Ring Tutorial is available at my Etsy Shop.

Side view looks better...:)

Here is a simple pair of spiral earrings with 17ga stainless steel wire too. Handmade hooks with 20ga stainless steel wire.

If you make your own wires, do you have to hammer or torch them?

Oh no! I don't make my own wires. I hammer to harden them :)
